Water Damage Restoration in Anderson Mill, TX

Anderson Mill is named for the gunpowder mill Thomas Anderson built on Cypress Creek in the early 1860s to supply the Confederacy, which he turned into a gristmill and cotton gin after the war. Farmers camped for days waiting their turn. Steam mills put him out of business by 1884, and the original mill site now lies under Lake Travis. The name came back in the 1970s, when the subdivision along Anderson Mill Road between US 183 and RM 620 was built for families moving to northwest Austin, and it has been a settled neighborhood of 1970s and 1980s houses ever since, on the Travis County side of the line about ten miles southwest of Round Rock.

The homes are one- and two-story ranch-style houses on slabs over limestone, with the original copper plumbing, big trees, and forty-year-old roofs where they have not been replaced after hail. The Anderson Mill Limited District runs the parks and pools.

This site routes Anderson Mill homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider inspects the house before a scope is written.

Anderson Mill water damage in a house built in 1979

Copper under a 1979 slab pits and pinholes, and a warm spot or a rising bill here is a leak detection call before the tile comes up. A roof that took hail in the spring and leaked in the next storm is roof leak water damage work once the roofer has it tarped. A washer hose that let go on a Saturday is water extraction, and the drying that follows.

The mill itself, and where the permit comes from

The mill and its story are kept by the volunteers at Anderson Mill, who run a working replica of the water wheel near Volente and open it on Sundays in the warm months. The neighborhood itself is inside the Austin city limits in Travis County, so a rebuild permit goes through the City of Austin, and the city water utility can shut a meter at the curb.
